Gestione Orlando tutto sommato gradevole, ma altresì dimenticabile. Lodo la perfezione assoluta con cui ha caratterizzato Diana e "dipinto" il suo rapporto con Artemis.

Già, Orlando mi ha stupito in positivo!
Questo numero poi riprende anche un plot point di Darkseid War e ha anche cambiato le cose per Artemis, quindi mica roba di poco conto...
Matite bellissime e Diana era scritta davvero bene, ora ci aspetta il crossover!

Wonder Woman #56
Written by James Tynion IV
Art by Emanuela Lupacchino, Ray McCarthy and Romulo Fajardo, Jr.
Lettering by Dave Sharpe
Published by DC Comics
Review by Pierce Lydon
'Rama Rating: 7 out of 10

James Tynion IV's spooky Halloween crossover "The Witching Hour" continues here, and it's clear just how comfortable the writer is with this cast. There's an underlying confidence in Tynion's script that helps emphasizes the character interactions that carry the story. And while the machinations of Tynion's magical plot might still feel a bit over some readers' heads, Emanuela Lupacchino's art is absolutely gorgeous. Her work alone is worth the price of admission.

The magical corner of the DCU is a vast and sometimes unwieldy thing, but Tynion seems to have a good handle on it. What comes through in "The Witching Hour" is the writer's penchant for putting together a team that seems a bit off the wall at first glance but gels fairly quickly. There's a familiar center here as Zatanna and Constantine anchor a lot of reader expectations in terms of stakes, but Tynion does a really great job of making Wonder Woman, a character who often can feel a bit distant from the audience, our point-of-view character. While Diana's background has certainly always had a bit of magic to it, she's being thrust into the deep end and taking us along with her. And having a character as strong-willed as Wonder Woman really pushes the team in interesting directions. It's an odd dynamic for the book — not much really happens on the page, but the character interactions are still propulsive.

Emanuela Lupacchino is doing everything in her power to help Tynion out, and her work is part of why this book is such a fun read. Acting is so important in comics, relying on subtle facial expression-work and body language to communicate important details about the relationships we see on the page. Seeing Zatanna stand up to Diana or Circe's knowing smirk adds an extra layer to the text on the page. Lupacchino's characters come alive here, and that's exactly what this book needs — this is an issue with a lot of exposition and a lot of narration, and while that doesn't leave Lupacchino a lot of room to be as dynamic as she's fully capable of, she still turns in a solid effort.

"The Witching Hour" has been an intriguing story so far, playing both to the strengths of Tynion but also all of the artists involved. It still feels like it needs another issue to really get going, but it's impossible not to like what Lupacchino is doing here, not to mention the team of oddballs that Tynion has assembled. It's also great timing, given the Halloween season, for a story that's just outside the superheroic expectations of the DCU. Hopefully as the story moves forward, the plot will come into a bit better focus, but fans looking for more horror/supernatural-tinged work should be eating this one up.

Non succede molto in questo numero, però ci spiega molte cose, e l'ho trovato abbastanza godibile.
Mi è piaciuto il modo in cui Tynion ha usato la mitologia DC, come lo sta facendo da tempo ormai, robe come Nanda Parbat, Rama Kushna non si sentono da tempo eh, poi ok quando vedi Deadman ci sta di brutto.
Non male anche come ha reinventato Circe!

Avere Ares come main villain è certamente bello, è qualcosa che non vedo da un bel po'.
Poi era un regular nella gestione di Azzarello e lo abbiamo visto anche in quella di Rucka, ma heh...

Wonder Woman #58
Written by G. Willow Wilson
Art by Cary Nord, Mick Gray, and Romulo Fajardo, Jr.
Lettering by Pat Brosseau
Published by DC Comics
Review by Justin Partridge
'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10

G. Willow Wilson hits the ground running in her return to DC Comics with the pulpy, intriguing Wonder Woman #58. Functioning as a clear entry point for new readers, Wilson gets down to brass tacks with Diana, smartly sidestepping a heavy mythologized tale in favor of propulsive action and instant stakes. Artists Cary Nord, Mick Gray, and Romulo Fajardo, Jr. lean into Willow's pulpy tone, delivering pencils that reminded this reviewer of his Conan adaptations. We find here lots of detailed landscapes, dynamic character posing, and bolded inks and colors, honing the sharpness of the panels. Wonder Woman arcs here recently haven't exactly been the most user friendly of comics, but I am happy to report that for now G. Willow Wilson's first take on Diana favors action and accessibility over trying to be an "important" soft-reboot.

Dating back to the "New 52," the direction creatives tended to take on new Wonder Woman books was to pile on a bunch of new gods and demigods and start mucking about with Diana's backstory. Thankfully, Wonder Woman #58 takes the direct opposite approach, going so far as to kill Ares (Again! Not for very long, but still!) just to clear the deck in the issue's portentous opening on Themyscira. Wilson is really only concerned with our core cast - namely Diana, Etta Candy, and Steve Trevor - for the time being, and it is a wonderful change of pace from the overstuffed opening casts previous volumes have had.

Better still, Wilson's opening plot is fairly grounded until its godly cliffhanger. Plagued with dreams of something bad happening to Steve, Diana's visions become prophecy when she gets a call from Etta Candy, saying he's been kidnapped by a new warlord in a foreign country. Naturally, Diana intervenes. Though Wilson is fully aware of the political implications of Diana's involvement in foreign operations, she also really understands that a proactive Diana is a fun Diana to read about. Wilson's Wonder Woman is all forward motion, dispensing battlefield wisdom on the mercenaries she faces. Even if you just had a cursory knowledge of Wonder Woman and what kind of stories she leads, this issue would give you all you needed to know, as it crystallizes the Amazon very well in a tight, engaging first issue.

Cary Nord is also a canny, tonally sound choice for this new entry point. Backed by the broad and bold inks of Mick Gray and the rich colors of Romulo Fajardo, Jr., Nord's art delivers kinetically expressive panels that capture Diana's power and charm throughout. After the issue's opening, which feels ripped right from a Robert E. Howard short story, Nord settes into a unexpected sweetness with an intimate scene between Diana and Steve. Wilson's script really nails Steve and Diana's dynamic and Nord and the rest of the art team translate it beautifully, in particular a four panel sequence where Steve is saying goodbye and Diana delivers a playful swat, the scene bathed in a cool blue, delicately detailed by Gray's inks.

Directly afterward, the team amps up the action, dropping Diana like a bird of prey onto the battle torn city. Here Nord flexes his and Diana's muscles a bit, staging each encounter she has with ground forces as the powerful protector. In the issue's first Wonder centric set piece, they fire her across the page like a bullet, shield dashing through a pair of troops like Captain America storming a beach head. They ramp up her fury in the issue's second, the moments right before she meets the insurgent's leader. She lands in the center of the frame in a triumphant superhero landing, positioned between a firing squad of soldiers and a defenseless family. The next panel is a action shot of her clobbering the soldiers with her shield, rendered with a bold copper background just to hammer home the impact. Culminating with a tight focus on Diana with a Conan-like snarl on her face, sun blazing in the background as her hair twists into the wind. It is a really powerful sequence and one that cuts right to the heart of the kind of visceral action Wonder Woman comic books can deliver.

By going back to basics and just being a damn fun read overall Wonder Woman #58 is a fine return for G. Willow Wilson for the Distinguished Competition. Focused on the characters we all know and love and armed with a propulsive opening gambit, Wilson, Cary Nord, Mick Gray and Romulo Fajardo, Jr., deliver a solid and dynamic opening chapter to what is hopefully a really great run of Wonder Woman.

Wow, questo numero era...abbastanza deludente...
Avevo, non dico GRANDI aspettative, ma non erano nemmeno basse.
Non ho letto molti comics scritti da questa writer, ma non ricordo di aver mai schifato quel poco che ho letto...
Dalla solicits, sembrava avesse fatto i suoi compitini, e in effetti rispetta abbastanza la continuity precedente, solo che la caratterizzazione dei pg lascia a desiderare.
Che sia Diana o Ares, ma sopratutto: Grail!
Oh NESSUNO riesce a scrivere il pg di Grail come Geoff eh, nessuno!
Nemmeno il buon Robinson, ma almeno non era così scadente, perchè qua ho fatto una fatica tremenda a riconoscere il pg, anche le matite non aiutano, anzi fanno proprio schifo.

La storia ha potenziale tho, però c'è modo e modo per raccontare una storia e a giudicare da questo primo numero, a quanto pare le matite e lo storytelling non saranno il punto forte di questa testata...
